Measuring the Unmeasurable: Digital Participation Seminar
18th June 2010
Birmingham City University are hosting a one day digital participation seminar on 19th July.
It intends to provide a forum for discussion of the meaning and measurability of Digital Participation, focusing on the three main measurables promoted by the Digital Participation Consortium – Reach, Breadth, Depth.
It will include contributions from Ofcom, following publication of their initial statistics bulletin on digital participation. In addition it will hear about the role of the UK Research Council funded Digital Economy Hub at Newcastle University and from the Arts Council and Audiences Central on the experience they have in measuring participation in the arts.
Speakers:
Paul Watson – Director, Digital Economy Hub for Inclusion through the Digital Economy
Catherine Bunting – Director of Research, Arts Council England
Alison Preston – Senior Research Associate, Ofcom
Vishalakshi Roy – Senior Business Develop Manager, Audiences Central
The seminar would be of interest to academics from media and cultural studies or those working more broadly in ‘digital’. It is also of interest to policy-makers, activists, community media workers and social media advisors.
